00:05In the criminal justice system, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous.
00:11In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are
00:15members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit.
00:19These are their stories.
00:40Hey! What the hell? That's my car!
00:43Hey, don't get any closer!
00:44Look what you did!
00:45He said stand back!
00:50What is it?
00:55Police!
00:59Don't move! Put your hands in the car!
01:05Are you alright? Do you need an ambulance?
01:08No. I'm okay.
01:09What happened?
01:10Uh, I just came out and found him messing up my car.
01:14Any idea why?
01:16I mean, I guess that.
01:24I take it you're Zach?
01:30I just think it's important to believe victims.
01:33Well, I couldn't agree more.
01:36But are you saying that you're a victim?
01:38I'm saying when people speak up, nobody listens.
01:40I'm listening.
01:41Margo, I'm all ears.
01:42I know. You're gonna say what everyone else says.
01:44What was she wearing? Was she drinking?
01:46Okay, Margo, please.
01:46Just yes or no.
01:48Were you a victim of sexual assault?
01:51You see? You're not listening.
01:54Look, this all got out of hand.
01:56Nobody intended for anybody to get hurt.
01:58Yeah, kind of hard to buy that when you show up with a baseball bat, Harrison.
02:02Margo said it was just a precaution.
02:04What else did Margo say?
02:06That it's important to take a stand?
02:09And it is.
02:11And that we should believe women.
02:12And I do.
02:13You always do what Margo tells you.
02:14She's very, very smart.
02:18And she cares about the world.
02:20And justice.
02:23And she's smart.
02:25And she told you that Zach was a rapist?
02:29I am not a rapist.
02:31I don't even know what they're talking about.
02:34You've never met either of them?
02:35No.
02:35A couple days ago, I started getting all these DMs on my socials.
02:40They found my work email.
02:42Total strangers saying I raped somebody.
02:44Zach, what I need you to focus on is why they'd get this idea about you.
02:48Man, I don't know.
02:51They're crazy.
02:52You know, mistaken identity.
02:54I don't even know who's saying I did that.
02:57Margo, this is not a trick question.
02:59It's yes or no.
03:01Is the victim a friend of yours or not?
03:03What if she's not?
03:04Do we have to be besties?
03:06Oh my God.
03:07You don't have to be anything.
03:08I don't know how to get through to you.
03:11I cannot move forward with this investigation until I have a name.
03:19Who is this victim you are avenging?
03:23Like a name?
03:25Yeah, exactly.
03:26Like a name.
03:27I don't actually know her real life name.
03:30I never met her.
03:31You never had one conversation with her.
03:34No, but it doesn't matter.
03:35What matters is we found her rapist and you didn't.
03:37Okay, Margo.
03:39I need you to give me something to investigate.
03:41Just one thing.
03:42It could be anything.
03:43I need you to give me one thing.
03:53Her name is Jaded Ember.
03:55She's a VTuber on Twitch.
03:58Like a virtual streamer.
04:01I don't expect anyone to believe me or help me.
04:04I just wanted to say it out loud.
04:06The guy who raped me is going to get away with it.
04:09But maybe someone who's going through something like this,
04:12maybe they'll hear me and have a different ending.
04:15I don't know.
04:16It would be awesome if this helped someone.
04:19Otherwise, what's even the point?
04:22I mean, you'd have to be crazy to ignore that.
04:26How could we just not try to help?
04:57How could we just not try to help?
04:58I don't know.
05:22How could we just not try to help?
05:27sector david questions all right then let's focus on quality stops and good collars and make sure
05:34your body cams are up and running be professional respectful and everyone comes back in one piece
05:39all right thanks dismiss
05:45not one officer checking their phone they must like you well there may or may not be a rumor
05:50going around that anyone not paying attention to the role gets zero ot you're laying down the
05:55hammer guess i'm a natural i don't like this it's nothing to like it is what it is yeah but
06:04can i
06:04still be mad for you uh shoot i got a uh budgeting meeting coming up but tell griff if he
06:12double
06:13parks in front of the precinct again i'm gonna have his ass toad
06:21i'm not gonna lie that interview from last night kind of broke my brain
06:25yeah i feel like i know less after talking to them than i did after reading the two-sentence
06:29police report i had to cut zach loose he said he'd stay in town yeah we got nothing to hold
06:32him on what i miss a whole lot of questions okay so i found the rest of that clip from
06:37jaded ember's
06:38twitch site she's got a ton of fans on gamecast mostly live streams herself playing video games
06:44but here's the part of the video where she talks about being raped i was in therapy when it all
06:48came
06:48back to me so crazy how your brain can just forget things that are like too traumatic but i can
06:54feel
06:55him pressing down on my neck telling me to relax i could hardly breathe i couldn't scream
07:03i don't know this sounds crazy i hope you guys believe me
07:11so it's a recovered memory yeah for someone who won't reveal their identity it's tricky did she
07:17identify her rapist no nothing no name no details but our vigilante margo claims that her um detective
07:24skills are so incredible that they have cracked the case well zach is also a gamer he's got a big
07:28following on twitch uh he and jaded ember were dating but zach claims they never met only online
07:35all right they had a big public ugly breakup about a year ago her fans just jumped to their own
07:40conclusions it seems real thin well how many of her fans think that he's a rapist no most of them
07:45so he could be looking at more of her fans tracking him down and harassing him or worse so let's
07:51get a
07:51subpoena for her identity that way if she makes a complaint we have something to investigate
08:00april diesel uh yeah you're jaded ember what's this about we're from special victims unit can we
08:07talk to you for a sec
08:10i don't recognize them yeah i know zach he's a dick and a terrible boyfriend but he didn't rate me
08:18thanks for clearing that up how bad was it is he okay he was shaken up but he's fine
08:25you made some pretty serious allegations on that live stream and we are sorry that that happened to
08:31you and we would like to investigate no i know that it sounds kind of weird that i'm saying i
08:38was
08:38raped but i don't really remember and i know how crazy that sounds but it's not crazy so april it's
08:45very common for victims to block out significant details from their assault right but i only remember
08:53bits and pieces and i don't want to be like quizzed on everything you said you remember this while
08:56you were in therapy can you talk to us more about that i i don't think i can what do
09:02you mean
09:03i was on a psychedelic okay it was a clinical trial for ptsd it's this drug called patryptomy
09:13okay now i really shouldn't have said anything like i know how it sounds nobody's gonna believe me
09:20we're here because we think that there is something to investigate there's not i don't remember enough
09:27you won't be able to find him let us try
09:34so the clinical trial has been over for almost a year and the drug is being tested for
09:40the treatment of ptsd anxiety depression and april i had no memory that she saw before taking a
09:46hallucinogen no she doesn't but it's it's not a hallucinogen it's not like lsd or dmt it
09:52activates serotonin receptors increases prolactin which boosts about every happy hormone you can
09:58think of and this makes you recover memories or invent them look i gotta ask you are you sure that
10:06this assault actually happened we don't know yet but april believes that it did and now so do a lot
10:14of internet warriors but we're just we're trying to get to the truth all right look even if april
10:20recalls details you're gonna need a lot more than that the issue here is that she wasn't aware this
10:24crime happened before taking a psychedelic even if this treatment is gaining legitimacy well it
10:29doesn't matter people v hughes people v tunstall both of these cases evaluated memories that were
10:35recovered through hypnosis and the courts have repeatedly found that testimony needs to be
10:40supported by pre-hypnotic recollection okay they're absolutely going to apply that here so
10:44this is dead in the water you can use this statement to id a suspect but then you're going to
10:48need
10:49independent evidence you're going to need a confession well you know it's a clinical trial
10:52they've got to have records so maybe there's more details in the session those are not going to be
10:56admissible but it's a very good place to start we'll see if i can get permission from april to talk
11:00to
11:01the therapist
11:05protryptamine is both plant derived and chemically stabilized making it more compatible with our
11:10brain chemistry than most psychedelics and the vast majority of our participants
11:14they no longer meet the diagnostic criteria for ptsd i won't be going back to traditional treatment
11:21again so it's a miracle drug i know it all sounds a little kooky pop a pill listen to music
11:28lay down
11:29in a dark room and see what feelings come up but we have seen what it could do for people
11:34which one of you treated april that we both did at the at the same time is that typical
11:40well it's protocol and necessary i mean the sessions can bring up strong sometimes difficult emotions and
11:46can last hours what were you treating her for ptsd at the time we believed her symptoms hyper arousal
11:52numbness hyper vigilance all stemmed from growing up in an unstable household with an alcoholic mother
11:57you think it's possible it actually stemmed from sexual assault obviously we don't know for certain
12:03but whether or not an event happened is unimportant seems it would be very important detectives we're
12:08not in the business of investigating the accuracy of a memory or catching criminals we are in the
12:13business of healing we explore the meaning behind the memory true or not yes or no you think she was
12:21raped no i don't i pulled her session files take a look yourselves i trust that you protect both april
12:32and our work thank you
12:47dr severson you got a minute uh unfortunately no i'm late for an appointment sorry we'll walk with
12:51you then maybe you could tell us what you wouldn't say up there in front of your partner
12:56uh there's really not much more to say that's fine we'll just ask more questions widen the net
13:03involve a lot more people you know that won't impact the clinical trials nox you know what
13:06pharmaceutical companies really love police investigations
13:11look i'll start by saying i don't mean to disparage my colleague i have a lot of respect for
13:16dr catmull he's worked in psychedelics a long time
13:21which may be the reason he's a little too invested in pushing protryptamine over the finish line
13:26and if it gets stalled all that research money goes down the drain it's not about the money it's
13:31about helping people jonah wasn't wrong to question recovered memories in any setting sometimes they're
13:37metaphors but he didn't give you the whole truth april has a history of using psychedelics about five
13:45years ago it wasn't revealed in the initial interview it came out in therapy but that
13:51should have disqualified her from the study why didn't it because she's a success story jonah wanted
13:57it in so what does that have to do with her memory of being assaulted jonah omitted the time period
14:04when
14:05april was using when she was meeting a lot of men and blacking out on a regular basis
14:11you think that's when this happened i can't say for sure it was a rape but something happened my girl
14:28april is trying to put together a list of the men that she dated five years ago but
14:33her memory's spotty can you remember who you dated five years ago well we are not talking about me
14:38thank you very much what do we got combing through dating app matches and cross-checking names of
14:44databases lib no psychedelic is a magic bullet for this writer for others it's the new frontier for
14:54mental health medicine some studies say psychedelics can assist in memory recall but others say that it
15:00impairs it but i have a psych professor at fordham who had a section on how psychedelics affect the brain
15:04she can break it down for me go ahead go talk to her so how does protryptamine make you remember
15:12things it's more that it modulates the brain's fear response our brain protects us from traumatic
15:18memories and a psychedelic like protryptamine can allow you to recall those events with less
15:23shame and judgment for me psychedelics weren't so much about memory i just felt very connected and
15:31present you've done psychedelics i might have had a crisis of faith or two that required some highly
15:37classified trips to oaxaca a few years back you're not going to turn me in i know the dea's on
15:42its way
15:44it wasn't a clinical trial of course she was a lovely woman luckily you're very vulnerable in that state
15:50i'm glad to see the practice is becoming more regulated now there have been problems it's not just
15:56what tryptamine sex abuse is a known problem with psychedelics even the naturally occurring ones
16:02like ayahuasca or psilocybin all those happy hormones they mess with your personal boundaries
16:10they trick you into thinking you're okay with things when you're not which is why there's two
16:15therapists to make sure nobody crosses the line the first time i was totally freaked out
16:21okay i didn't sleep at all the night before and i got there i took the pill and like immediately
16:30fell asleep oh and i woke up i felt like i understood what love meant wow not not like being
16:45in love but
16:47just how everything and everyone is all one it's it's hard to describe i know i probably sound nuts
16:57no it sounds kind of um incredible so when did you remember the assault um the third time okay
17:08they had me put an eye mask on and it makes things a lot more intense
17:13it felt so vivid this strong feeling of
17:21violation i actually feel it happening in my body i was crying did you tell your
17:27therapists one of them was sitting with me he was rubbing my back and my legs holding me
17:33was that a common practice for your sessions the physical touch yeah i guess so okay it's just that's
17:44that's quite unorthodox for a therapist to to cross that boundary what happened afterwards
17:51i went home and i still feel it in my body the next day soreness between my legs
18:01my throat like somebody had choked me
18:05they said it wasn't unusual for the brain to convince the body that it had really happened
18:12in my experience the opposite is true um it's the body that doesn't lie and your body was telling you
18:27i know that you had been violated and i think that you were
18:35but not five years ago
18:39have you considered that maybe you were assaulted during during your session
18:50oh
18:58for a long time i felt really good about the therapy
19:03it changed my brain it made me more open optimistic
19:11and now it just feels like it got rotten
19:16like i'm too sick to be fixed
19:19it's not true you're not too sick to be fixed
19:25they took advantage of you when you were vulnerable
19:31and now they're gonna pay
19:43okay so if the sessions always had two therapists
19:46what are we thinking both of them did it
19:49one of them did it while the other watched
19:51or they weren't always together all the time april doesn't know who was there because she had a mask
19:56over her eyes well we both know for a fact they're willing to lie to cover it up
20:00catmull fudged the session notes severson sent us on a wild goose chase looking at five-year-old hinge matches
20:06catmull has an md and a phd he's been big in the psychedelics communities since the 90s
20:12he's a real cheerleader for its benefits he's got no complaints against them
20:15he did a ton of research papers on protryptamine therapy
20:20i looked into catmull's financials he's got significant investments in all of this
20:25okay if protryptamine gets distribution he will make a lot of money
20:30hmm severson's a side he's uh new to the psychedelics game he still has a private practice
20:36he specializes in complex trauma ptsd emdr no complaints against him either
20:41he and catmull started working together two years ago for serolite pharmaceuticals
20:46the parent company's based in japan the u.s division developed protryptamine and is running the trials
20:51okay well this maybe there's video of these sessions let's see who's judd flannery catmull
20:59wrote all of his papers with the guy and then it looks like they stopped around the time severson
21:04came into the picture wonder what split them up yeah let's find out
21:13dr catmull and dr severson are some of our finest research and scores
21:17why have you ever had any complaints about either of them
21:20no no what kind of complaints april dso recovered a memory of being sexually assaulted during one of
21:29her sessions we are looking into the possibility that she was assaulted during that session that's not
21:37possible april are you sure yeah she was so pleased with her treatment outcome so are these sessions
21:44recorded recorded miss fuentes yes but given how sensitive the content is i can't turn anything
21:52over without a patient's permission well i can help you with that this is april's consent
21:56and you should have a digital copy of that in your inbox
22:02i can't give you anything without a subpoena all right we will get a subpoena
22:08we'll be back save the world as long as you have a court order
22:17either you guys ever take that online quiz where you put in how many times you visit your parents
22:21and then it tells you how much time you got left with them before they die hard no i used
22:25to calculate
22:26how much closer i was to death working at a job i didn't care about so one day i just
22:29walked
22:30all those years in medical school to work in a bike shop my dad would have throttled me oh yeah
22:34never been happier hey don't get me wrong i left helping people i just hated everything else
22:41including catmull you know i thought i was so lucky when he asked me to be his research partner
22:46didn't take long to realize he didn't care much about the science has he been arrested
22:52why do you ask dude's a druggie i caught him swiping pills from our inventory
22:57i reported him to my supervisor sarah light she said they'd handle it internally but they never
23:01did i don't know but there's definitely this mentality over there that nothing can stop the
23:05momentum you know you ever see him act inappropriate with a patient you mean like sexually
23:11no but i wouldn't put anything past that guy a shrink with no empathy that's wild and one time i
23:17asked him i got into psychedelics you know what he said hmm it's where the money's at
23:22judd flannery was a fresh graduate who was incompetent and incapable that's why i ended
23:27the relationship like for all i know he stole the meds you think we're on the hunt for some pills
23:32that went missing two years ago we're way beyond that now john this is about what you did to april
23:38what are you talking about get her vulnerable and compliant assault her and convince her it was a
23:43hallucination what are you saying that i you raped your client yeah that's what we're saying
23:46absolutely not the only question is was it a tag team situation with you and your partner or was it
23:51all his idea i leave the session sometimes i know i'm not supposed to austin austin encouraged me to
24:04take breaks sure sure sure sure it's always the other guy isn't it i can prove it i have videos
24:09everything we sent to sir light i've got copies have you watched them
24:18because you had a feeling you knew what was on them didn't you
24:45get me i can't read though
24:50I know, I know what it means, stop.
24:54Open your thighs for me.
24:56No, stop.
24:58OK, that's enough.
25:00There might not be enough there to prove rape,
25:03but we absolutely have him on sexual assault.
25:06We're still going through all the videos,
25:08but Liv, we've already found two other women
25:11Severson did this to.
25:14Get him.
25:17Three crisis calls this morning, all
25:19before 10 a.m.?
25:21I think I deserve this.
25:22Dr. Severson, hello.
25:24Detectives, this isn't the best time.
25:25Is it ever?
25:26Get up.
25:27What on earth are you doing?
25:29Arresting you, Doc.
25:30What?
25:30Here, enjoy that.
25:31You're right to remain silent.
25:33You're safe, man.
25:34Yes.
25:39So I'm going to start with the obvious question, which is,
25:43did you forget that you were being recorded, or did you
25:48just not care?
25:51Captain, I can see how this might seem strange if you're not
25:55versed in this therapy, but that's what this therapy
25:59looks like.
26:00You assaulted her.
26:01I comforted her.
26:03A person who's taken protriptamine needs reassurance.
26:06They need someone there to hold them together, both mentally
26:09and physically and physically.
26:11I have to stop you for a second, because you can't just sit there and pretend that
26:16we didn't see clearly what is on this video.
26:19You don't have the context.
26:21Are my methods unorthodox?
26:23Absolutely.
26:24But the use of touch, so long as it's nonsexual, has been very effective.
26:28You call that there nonsexual?
26:31Yes.
26:31Yeah?
26:32Do you know what that word means?
26:34Nothing that has transpired between my clients and myself has ever been sexual.
26:38Well, not for me.
26:40I don't derive any benefit or pleasure from these sessions.
26:45Yeah, well, neither was she.
26:46She was in tears.
26:47She said no, stop, multiple times.
26:50And if I told a surgeon no, don't sew up that incision you just made, would he stop?
26:55I think I get it.
26:57So what you're saying is that sometimes when a person is feeling vulnerable, right,
27:02they just, they just want to be held.
27:05Exactly.
27:06The level of this therapy is so intense, you have to experience it to understand.
27:13I think someone like you would benefit from it, Captain.
27:20Well, that is, uh, so kind of you to think of me.
27:23Um, where was Dr. Catmull during all of this?
27:28Uh, I don't recall exactly.
27:30He may have been on a break.
27:31The other two patients that got your special, uh, hands-on care, where was Dr. Catmull for
27:36those?
27:38I would have to check the video to just-
27:39He wasn't there.
27:40Every single time.
27:45Honestly, you're real smart, doctor.
27:48You're smarter than me.
27:50You're smarter than most people who sit in that chair.
27:54I mean, creating your own hunting ground and then hiding behind a clinical trial and then
28:01having your victims sign up for it themselves.
28:03That is, um, that is brilliant.
28:07Regular genius.
28:08But you're no different than every other predator.
28:13You know that.
28:15And now everyone else will too.
28:18Because we have it all on video.
28:26Captain Curry!
28:29Executive officer, look at you.
28:31Eyes on the ranks.
28:31Thanks, Chief.
28:32Here for Comstat?
28:33Yeah, my first one.
28:34You're not going to be late.
28:36Hey, I'll catch up with you.
28:38Griff!
28:40Hey, Captain.
28:41Wow.
28:42You're all dressed up.
28:43Yeah, well, Comstat meeting, so I had to drag this thing out.
28:46A little, uh, field trip to the records room?
28:49Uh, yeah.
28:50Yeah, Cap.
28:50Asked me to pull some old case files.
28:52Thinks we might have a repeat offender.
28:54Hmm.
28:55I didn't hear anything about that.
28:57Yeah.
28:58Well, hey, we miss you up there.
28:59I gotta go.
29:05Hey, I just, uh, arranged Severson, and you're not gonna believe this, but he pled to the
29:09entire indictment.
29:10You're kidding.
29:11Judge gave him 15 years.
29:13For three rapes?
29:15Look, Amanda, I'm not upset about this, and you shouldn't be either.
29:18This case in no way was gonna be a slam dunk.
29:21The video was inconclusive.
29:23Uh, even if April and the other two victims were ready to testify, they were in an experimental
29:26treatment program that was always gonna be tricky with the jury.
29:30To be honest, I'm surprised this lawyer didn't want to go to trial.
29:33Oh, my God, he's protecting aesthetic.
29:36From what?
29:37Scrutiny.
29:39Look, Severson is a creep.
29:41He's a predator, but he is a true believer in his therapy.
29:46And he'll take the hit so his company doesn't.
29:47And Sarah Light had all the videos of Severson.
29:50They knew what he was doing, and they did nothing?
29:53And it's despicable, but unfortunately, they don't have a duty to report.
29:56Get off on a technicality?
29:57Come on.
30:01Don't, don't, don't look at me like that, all right?
30:02For once, I'd like to be able to stay within my jurisdiction when it comes to your life.
30:14We can't charge Sarah Light criminally.
30:18But we can try to shut him down.
30:28Sonny, gotta say, shutting down an entire corporation because the one bad apple doesn't sit well with me.
30:35Sarah Light seems to be getting some good results out of this drug.
30:38Well, I have no issue with protriptamine, psychedelics in general, when they're handled appropriately.
30:42But what I do have an issue with is poor oversight and not paying attention when a doctor assaults his
30:47patients.
30:47And that man is going to prison.
30:49But that does nothing to solve the underlying issue.
30:52Look, their complete lack of oversight has created the perfect conditions for this to happen again with another doctor.
30:58I'm not saying we don't take a look, but shutting down the company could shut down the entire pursuit of
31:02this treatment.
31:03But if you do nothing, then patients are going to stay vulnerable.
31:07Look, listen, how about this?
31:13Cross-designate me.
31:15Let me take it on.
31:26She said both doctors would be in the room at all times for my protection and theirs.
31:31And did Ms. Fuentes have you sign a consent form for your sessions to be recorded?
31:36I did.
31:37They said it was for the study and no one else would see them.
31:40And I'm assuming that you did not consent to either doctor lying under a blanket with you and touching your
31:46body.
31:46No, absolutely not.
31:48And did Ms. Fuentes or anyone else from Sarah Light Pharmaceuticals ever reach out to you about what was on
31:55your recorded video sessions?
31:57No.
31:58Even after Dr. Severson was arrested for sexually assaulting you?
32:01Not a word.
32:02Thank you, Ms. Diaso.
32:04No further questions, Your Honor.
32:05Ms. Rettstedt, your witness.
32:07Ms. Diaso, what you endured at the hands of Dr. Severson was reprehensible.
32:13And I don't want to put you through a long list of questions, so I'll be quick, alright?
32:16Okay.
32:17I really just have one.
32:19Did this therapy help you?
32:23I don't know her.
32:26I was assaulted.
32:30Raped.
32:31I know.
32:32But that's not what I'm asking.
32:34You have been treated for PTSD.
32:36Is that still your diagnosis?
32:38He's a monster.
32:39I don't disagree.
32:40He is.
32:41And according to your post-clinical trial follow-up, your PTSD is, medically speaking, no longer
32:48present.
32:49So I'll ask again.
32:50Did it help you?
32:59When I wake up at night, I feel like I'm being choked.
33:04Feel hands on me.
33:06Feel him on top of me over a year later.
33:10I think about what would have happened if Dr. Severson hadn't done this to me.
33:13What that life would have been like.
33:15I'll never know.
33:18I just don't want what happened to me to happen to anyone else.
33:31Ms. Fuentes, your company has safeguards in place to prevent sexual abuse, correct?
33:36Yes, we do.
33:38For example, you require two therapists to be present for the entire duration of every session.
33:44Correct.
33:44You also require that each session be recorded on video.
33:47Yes.
33:48But that didn't really stop Dr. Severson, though.
33:51That didn't.
33:52We were horrified by his criminal actions.
33:56But to say that one bad actor is indicative of our entire company is false.
34:01Right, because you know for certain that there was only one bad actor.
34:04You got the videos, right?
34:06So if anything inappropriate had happened, you would have seen that.
34:12You do record every session, don't you, Dr. Fuentes?
34:17Yes.
34:17And have you ever seen a therapist leave a session when they weren't supposed to?
34:22I never saw that.
34:23No?
34:23And all those videos?
34:24That's astonishing.
34:26I mean, how many hours would you say there are?
34:28There's gotta be thousands.
34:30Yes.
34:30And approximately how many hours of those sessions did you watch?
34:35I haven't had an opportunity to review.
34:37You never watched the videos that you require for the purpose of protecting your patients?
34:42Me personally?
34:44No.
34:44Okay, not personally, but who does?
34:47You have to understand.
34:48We keep the videos as records.
34:50We simply don't have the manpower to review that much footage.
34:53We're a research-focused entity.
34:55Well, its primary purpose should have been to keep your patients safe.
35:00And if you had done your job, then you would have seen three women,
35:04the very people that you were supposed to protect, be assaulted by one of your doctors.
35:09Isn't that true?
35:12Yes.
35:14Nothing further.
35:17Miss Fuentes, you may step down.
35:23Both counsel approach.
35:35Miss Rhett said, if things keep going the way they're going,
35:38I'm inclined to rule in favor of the Attorney General's office.
35:41Your Honor, I would-
35:42However, I also understand that Serolite Pharmaceuticals is at the forefront of a breakthrough medication that has the potential to
35:51change the face of mental health treatment.
35:54Perhaps under the right leadership.
35:56Hold on, Your Honor.
35:57The Serolite board would not object to removing Miss Fuentes from her position as CEO, Your Honor.
36:02In that case, I'd be inclined to deny the Attorney General's application to shut them down.
36:07Your Honor, respectfully, I disagree.
36:10Three women have been victimized on Serolite's watch.
36:12Victimized by Dr. Severson, who's out of the picture.
36:14Did SVU find any other instances of therapists abusing patients?
36:19No, they did not.
36:20But the potential for abuse is there.
36:23And unless we shut them down until real changes are made, it'll stay there.
36:27I admire your passion, Mr. Creasy, but I don't think you've made your case.
36:31You're welcome to take an appeal.
36:34Step back.
36:34Step back.
36:47Step back.
36:48Step back.
36:48Step back.
36:48Step back.
36:49Step back.
36:50Step back.
36:52Step back.
36:53Step back.
36:55Step back.
36:56Step back.
36:56Step back.
36:56Step back.
36:58Step back.
37:00Step back.
37:01Step back.
37:02Step back.
37:02Step back.
37:04Step back.
37:06When I was a kid, my mom had an abortion.
37:11Nearly killed a Catholic heart.
37:12The baby would have been born with all kinds of problems.
37:15All this information came out about this antidepressant
37:19that she was using off and on.
37:21I remember this fancy lawyer, he came to her house,
37:23and he wanted her to join a class action lawsuit.
37:27He told us that hundreds of babies
37:29have been born with birth defects because of that drop.
37:32What did she do?
37:34Class action was denied certification.
37:37The case never went to trial.
37:38My mom, she couldn't afford to file an individual claim,
37:42so that was that.
37:49Carisi Severson is behind bars.
37:53Removing Fuentes is definitely gonna shake things up.
37:57You didn't really lose this case today.
38:01Look at you with the pep talk.
38:04Usually I'm the one telling you that we did all we could.
38:06Well, people change.
38:19What's this?
38:20A few files that you missed.
38:22This one was a killer.
38:24So the witness turned out to be a fabulous,
38:27just makes up a whole bunch of details,
38:29and then the whole case fell apart at trial.
38:32Captain, I can explain what's going on.
38:34So I don't know why you're pulling my old cases.
38:36I suspect it's because somebody told you to.
38:39So you go ahead, Griff.
38:41You look into anything you want.
38:44Because I don't have any secrets.
38:47And whatever mistakes I've made,
38:49and I'm sure there have been a ton,
38:52I stand by.
38:56Wait.
38:59Look at this.
39:00What is that?
39:02It's from a shooting in a bar in the Upper West Side in 2001.
39:07Look at it.
39:08Involving a Lieutenant Jimmy Griffin.
39:15And Detective Katherine Tynan.
39:19Yeah.
39:20You're right.
39:21I was tasked into looking into your old cases.
39:23Okay?
39:25And I used that as cover to dig that up.
39:34What are you planning on doing with this, Griff?
39:39I'm gonna find out the truth.
39:42And I'm gonna give that to the commissioner.
39:47What?
39:47I don't care what happens to me.
39:50I don't care what happens to my dad's legacy after this.
39:55Legacy.
39:56Like, what the hell does that even mean?
40:01Tynan.
40:02I mean, you know this, Tynan.
40:04She's been there for me.
40:07Through some very hard times, okay?
40:14I cannot take any of this anymore.
40:19I gotta know.
40:20Gotta know the truth.
40:23This is gonna blow everything up.
40:31Are you ready for that?
40:37No.
40:41Are you?
40:43Are you?
41:06I am?
41:07I am.
41:26W думаю.
41:32That's awesome.
